Today's Tuesday Tune is inspired by the state of Utah, and is brought to you by a rainy spring that turned into a bright, colorful, wonderful fall. Utah is the most (or at least one of the most) beautiful places in the world – even on a normal year. But this year? Holy wow! It's beautiful. If you live somewhere else, I suggest you find yourself on a plane that finds its way on over here. It will be worth your time and/or money and/or efforts and/or vacation days.

On Sunday, Spouse, Yahoos and I drove the Alpine Loop. We stopped to take a few snaps, wander around for a while, and Yahoo #1 gave us some sign language lessons. He began these lessons with the colors.

On Monday, after dropping the Yahoos at school, a friend and I scrambled to the top of a little hill called Big Baldy. I'd tell you about that now, but I'm way tired and my neck hurts. See, I was up in the mountains again today, this time on my mountain bike, partaking in the beauty, when something – like my mountain bike skills or lack thereof – went awry. I went over my handlebars and landed on my face. That's right folks, I had my very first endo today. So, if all goes well, and I'm still alive tomorrow, even after my monster crash, then I'll show you my Big Baldy photos.

I've had three outdoor outings in three days and it's been wonderful. This world (expecially the Utah World) is so very wonderful. And that's why today's Tuesday Tune is:

I really want to add "Top of the World" by The Pussycat Dolls, but I feel like that would be a point deduction. A point deduction, in our house, being when you know an answer on Jeopardy that is a waste of brain cells. (Think: personal details about Britney Spears, the latest on Paris Hilton, etc.) PDs have morphed now to include knowledge of or preference for anything that might be a little, shall we say...less than intellectual/cultural? A la...Pussycat Dolls.

My kids are (thanks to Kid History vol. 6) addicted to "Top of the World" - Carpenter style. I'm addicted to your beautiful colorful photos and jealous of the time logged surrounded by beauty.My husband is jealous of your wipeout - since he only went sideways into a bush, downhill, in between a rock and had to have his buddy unclip him and pull the bike off him...nice visual eh?AND I didn't know the Whites did Keep on the Sunny Side...who were the originals?
